From Ljubljana, we drive towards Borovnice. Turn into the village of Brezovica near Borovnica and drive to the Pekel guest house, where you park.

From the car park, follow the tourist trail to the start of the Pekel gorge. The trail soon leads over a bridge and after a few minutes of climbing you reach the first waterfall. The path then starts to climb and leads to a crossroads. To the left across the bridge is the second waterfall. We return to the crossroads, where we now head towards the right-hand side and the third waterfall. The path continues along steep steps, followed by a few stiles. Follow the markings and the path takes you left along the stream and leads you to the fourth waterfall. There is then a short climb up a steep slope, where a rope leads to the next bridge over the stream. There are small troughs below us. The path ahead continues to climb and gets closer to the water. There is only a short descent to the stream, where a beautiful view of the fifth waterfall opens up.

Watch out for slips.
